Please don't accept the opinion that because you're a man and because you're white you don't have worthy emotional needs. Anxiety and depression are terrible and affect people from many walks of life. Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45.
Self-care is *an* issue here. There can be multiple issues. If he's feeling anxious or depressed he shouldn't berate himself for taking time off.

My point is: it upsets me *personally* that he's acting like it is wrong in any way for him to take a time out, because this is not good for men or others around them. I agree that there was a lack of clarity and how that was troublesome. But there are other voices saying that.
